Election Shock To Prohibition Party Votes In Indiana Dropped Suddenly INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The Prohibition Party got a rude shock from returns in Indiana’s election Nov. 6.

Its vote power suddenly dropped to the lowest level in years, and if the party wants to field a ticket in the 1958 election it will have to circulate petitions and get thousand sos signatures. Heretofore, the Prohibition party has been more fortunate than other minority parties. All it had to do to qualify for a place cm the ballot was to hold a state nominating convention. It didn't matter if only a handful of party members was present at the convention. The party automatically won the right to get on the ballot by virtue of having received at least onehalf of one per cent of the total vote cast for secretary of state at the last preceding Indiana election. "" Candidate Gets «,«48 This time, the Prohibition party candidate for secretary of state received only 6,648 votes, which figures out at between three-tenths and four-tenths of one per cent. Those 6,648 votes represented a considerable drop from 13,138 Prohibitionists who voted for secretary of state in 1950, 12,963 who voted in 1952, and 11,488 who voted in 1954. * In the last three elections before 1956, the Prohibition party vote was between six and nine-tenths of one per cent, giving the party a fair cushion over and above the five-tenths necessary to qualify for the next election with a nominating convention. “This is a big blow to us,” said one party faithful who did not wish to be identified by name. “It is a tremendous job to circulate petitions that require thousands of names.’ ’ Calls Law “Undemocratic** One party spokesman said the Prohibition party has been on the Indiana ballot without the necessity of a petition for “75 or 80 years.” He considered laws which would create the necessity of petitions in this and other states were “undemocratic.” Party leaders believed the reason for the decrease in the Prohibition vote was not dwindling interest but rather the fact most Prohibitionists are also either Democrats or Republicans and they want to have a part in selecting their national and state leaders. Observers believed a simple way for the party members to assure a place on the ballot would be to “scratch” from a major party to their protest party candidate on the secretary of state race. The Prohibition candidate for president or governor or any other office does not need to poll onehalf of one per cent of the votes—only die candidate for secretary of state. Many Signers Renege A Prohibitionist still could vote for a Republican or Democrat for president and governor, or any

other office, so long as he voted for his own party’s candidate for secretary of state. Floating petitions shouldn’t be too hard. In 1952, the party polled at least 500 votes each in Delaware, Elkhart, Grant, Lake, Marion and St. Joseph Counties, and nearly 500 each in Vanderburgh, Allen, Dekalb, Howard, Kosciusko, Madison and Randolph Counties. Although signers of minority party petitions indicate they will support the party in the next election, statistics show many of them do not. Last September, the Socialist Labor party presented petitions bearing about 10,000 names to the governor’s office to win a place on the ballot, i But fewer than 2,000 votes were cast flov. 6, for Socialist Labor candidates, indicating more than 8,000 signers reneged on their signed pledge.
